Granville rally to earn draw with Clark’s Town
CLARK’S TOWN, Trelawny — Defending champions Granville United came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Clark’s Town FC in their Jamaica Football Federation’s Western Confederation Charlie’s JB Rum Super League Zone One game at Cedric Titus High on Sunday.
Frank Wilson gave the home team the lead in the 56th minute, but Davian Thelwell earned a point for the champions with a 64th-minute equaliser as the teams shared the points.
It was the second-straight draw between the teams after they were goalless in a third-round cross-zone meeting last season.
Clark’s Town, who were beaten in the Trelawny FA Knockout final a week prior to the game, are in second place in Zone One with seven points, three behind surprise leaders Reggae Youths (10 points), while Granville are in third place on five points, leading Beaches Negril on goal-difference.
Sandals South Coast lead Zone Two with 10 points as well after they dropped points for the first time on Saturday, held 1-1 by second- placed Montego Bay Boys’ Club, who are on eight points.
Faulkland FC, who have a game in hand after their match against Petersfield FC on Saturday was postponed, are third on six points.
Former champions Wadadah FC are yet to score a point, losing all four games so far.
